you accept their fate cannot be changed

people that play that stuff will only play that stuff, you will not be able to get them interested in other things

I just don't get the whole being content with mediocre skinner box tier gameplay and paying for the beta of games.

you don't have to get it
it's probably better if you don't get it

don't worry about it, they only like one game at a time, and they want it to be derivative of everything else
that's all that it is

they don't have passion for gaming
